I have 2 DiLs that I love dearly. Like any friendship, it takes time to develop but we’re comfortable enough now to enjoy spending time together with or without my sons. I would do anything I could to support them and wouldn’t dream of criticising them (especially as they are undoubtedly better wives and mothers than I ever was!)

My sons partner is a wonderful mother and dil they do live abroad but she regularly sends me pictures and messages about the children. When I visit she makes me so welcome as do her family we have such a lovely time, my son was lucky to find her. I just wish we could spend more time together.

So often on this site we read about the awful relationships some have with their DiL's (and vice versa). Do any of you have a wonderful DiL (or even nice would do). Much as I tried my MiL was very jealous from the word go. I couldn't do anything right. Even keeping a clean house was me being 'too fussy' (BTW I'm not that fussy) and cooking nice meals was 'showing off etc etc'. I could write volumes. However, she has recently died and it made me sad to think that the relationship could have been much better with both her son and our children if she hadn't have been so bitter and jealous towards me and anything my DH did for me. We really tried hard. She cut her nose off to spite her face really but didn't know she was doing it.
